This card is not yet supported, but the individual chips on it do have driver code. Mauro is working on the driver while I do the testing, since I also have one of these cards.
Right now though, the composite and S-video inputs work fine in the mainstream kernel (2.6.24 and up). I believe recent additions to the v4l-dvb repository have already incorporated the code changes that make the FM radio work, also.
The TV tuner code isn't ready, but its close. Specifically, the analog TV side is already partially working (we've got reliable video, just no audio yet), and the ATSC/digital tuner *wants* to work, but something is tripping us up. I have a feeling that it'll be working fairly soon.
SO if you can justify getting the card before the driver is ready, please do so - more testers are always appreciated.
